The quote above is from one of the Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed while He was a prisoner in Akka- the “Tablet of Wisdom”. The Tablet was addressed to a man named Nabil, who was a very learned man of his time and an expert on Greek philosophy.  Characteristic of many of the Blessed Beauty’s Tablets, Baha’u’llah addresses all of humanity in answering Nabil’s questions.  The Tablet of Wisdom is known for its attention to core issues in philosophy and science, like the origin of creation and other related questions. This one also begins with an exhortation that elevates our sense of virtue and emphasizes the critical ethical aspect of His Revelation- the love for all humanity.
